The aim of this study was to describe the clinical phenotype of Dogue de Bordeaux (DdB) referred for cardiac investigation, with particular reference to the prevalence of atrial fibrillation and associated features. Review of canine medical records o... Read More about Phenotypic description of cardiac findings in a population of Dogue de Bordeaux with an emphasis on atrial fibrillation.

Clinical and genetic characterisation of dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy in a family of Miniature Poodle dogs (2018)
Journal Article
Sanchez, L., Beltran, E., De Stefani, A., Guo, L. T., Shea, A., Shelton, D., …Burmeister, L. M. (2018). Clinical and genetic characterisation of dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy in a family of Miniature Poodle dogs. PLoS ONE, 13(23), e0193372. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0193372

Four full-sibling intact male Miniature Poodles were evaluated at 4–19 months of age. One was clinically normal and three were affected. All affected dogs were reluctant to exercise and had generalised muscle atrophy, a stiff gait and a markedly elev...

Associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the calcium sensing receptor and chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder in cats (2018)
Journal Article
Geddes, R. F., Jepson, R. E., Forcada, Y., Elliott, J., & Syme, H. M. (2018). Associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the calcium sensing receptor and chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder in cats. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tvjl.2018.02.010

Feline chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with high variability in severity of CKD-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). The calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) regulates circulating parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium concentrations. Single nuc...
